I went here because of their solid beer selection (I was looking to get Left Hand Milk Stout). I was a little disappointed that most of their beers were in the bottle and not on draft. The food was solid and the atmosphere is pretty cool too. Good neighborhood spot to hang with a group of friends.
Review Source:i guess its safe to say that this is my go-to neighborhood bar. considering its literally right behind my apt, its easy to go in and enjoy beer specials and catch a game on their giant screens (seriously, you can sit in any corner of the bar/tables and you will be able to get a good view of the tv's).
i love love love their lil brother burger (merkts cheddar, onions, jalapenos, yum) and i always get the sweet potato tater tots with jalapeno aoli on the side. some people argue with me that they have a better burger down the street but i think theyre terribly mistaken. the buffalo chicken wrap is pretty darn awesome too.
Delux has really improved their beer selection since my last review. The bottle selection has a lot of favorites like Two Brothers, Dogfish, Gumball Head, and there's also a rotating draft that always seems to be a different craft beer I've never tried before. Food is above average for bar food. I'd recommend going with a burger and tater tots. The vibe is chill and neighborhoody. You can watch a game there without feeling surrounded by frat types. The music they play is usually pretty good too. A good little spot, that is well worth checking out if you're in the neighborhood.
Review Source:Came here on a weekday around 10. We were the only 3 patrons there, and were pretty excited that we weren't going to have to fight anyone for the pool table, that is until the server turned off all the lights in that corner before we had a chance to play :/
We ordered food and drinks and the service was friendly, but I think we stopped them from closing early.
We all got burgers, which were pretty good. Kind of peppery, but good. The sweet potato tater tots are what gives this place an extra star! They were awesome. Bottled beer selection was pretty good too.
I did see them turn away a couple from sitting down while we were eating, but the next couple that came in, they let them stay, which I thought was odd. The couple that were turned away looked genuinely sad too. Maybe they wanted the sweet potato tater tots too.
Overall, it was alright. If not for those dang tots, I probably wouldn't think to come back  though.
Good neighborhood bar with a fine menu of semi-upscale bar food. Â Everything on the menu tends to be well thought out. Â Appetizers, wraps, pizzas, and especially the burgers are all good to great. Â Avoid the fried chicken sandwich, it's uninspired.
Spacious and clean, bar seating and some booths and tables. Â Also a poll table area and some room to hang out for even large groups.
Always regular faces behind the bar. Â Staff is professional but also friendly and outgoing. Â Always happy to make recommendations or modifications to the menu items.
Wish the beer selection was a little deeper, but it's good enough.
Don't forget, they are open for brunch on weekends at 10am.
I really like this place. It's a slightly upscale neighborhood bar/tavern.
But it really excels in the food. Plenty of options, mostly traditional american/upscale bar food. Love the mac'n'cheese, wings, and burgers. Great for dining in for lunch/dinner, or carryout.
Good bar atmosphere, unpretentious and good place for sports, etc.
we went on a friday night and were seated immediately. However, we had a hard time waving the waitress down. We ordered
smothered tater tots - too fatty but YUMMY!
duke burger - HUGE!! just ok
sweet potato tots - THE BEST!!!
the burger was ok, but the sweet potato tots were AWESOME!!!
I have no idea how anyone can give this place anything higher 3 stars. This was a HUGE disappointment. We went for brunch on a Saturday and were seated right away. It was empty, in fact. The waitress was very nice, but couldn't tell us if the bloody mary's were $6 or $8. We ordered one anyway and it was terrible. The worst bloody mary we've had anywhere in the city. It was made from a  store-bought mix and had NO garnish. AND IT WAS $8.50! Really?!
My husband's Challah French Toast was nothing special and my Chilaquiles was such an Americanized version that you could barely call it Chilaquiles. They even asked how I'd like my eggs. Umm.....scrambled...
I can't give this place one star because the food was edible. I won't be going back even though it's a five minute walk from my apartment.
I have worked across the street from this place for months but never event thought of eating there because of the somewhat dingy facade.  I really missed out!  I regret all the days I ate Subway for lunch!  Once you go inside, the place is a  very quaint bar and grill (and very clean).  They have a daily $5 special for lunch.  My favorite item on their menu is the Blackbean Burger.  It is made in house and it's delish!
Don' let the outside scare you, give this place a try.
Great neighborhood bar with lots of space, a good deal of tvs tuned in to sports and friendly service. Â
Food is decent, the best thing they have going for them is the sweet potato tater tots but I like their sausage and peppers too. Very comforting on wintery day. They have a weekend brunch menu that is pretty good.
A comfy neighborhood bar with friendly servers.
I went on a Sunday afternoon and there weren't too many people. Pretty quiet but not uncomfortably quiet.
My friends and I shared the smothered tots. We devoured that. Even after we kept saying, "we're so full." I highly recommend ordering smothered tots as an appetizer. It's a pound of tots smothered with cheese.
I forgot which burger I had, as this review is from a visit 6+ months ago, but it wasn't something I was thriving about post lunch.
I would go back for another chill lunch. Prices are decent, people are nice and those tots are very good!
Delux is just about my favorite place to eat in Chicago. The items on the menu are things you'll find at most bars - burgers, wraps, pizza, appetizers - but Delux somehow manages to make their versions of these classic meals far better than the competition. I almost cried the first time I dug into a buffalo chicken sandwich. I can also never give enough praise to their nachos. I have no idea what cheese they use, but it's the best cheese for nachos I've ever tasted.
In terms of the location itself it's never too busy, so you can always get a table wherever you want. They also have a ton of TVs, so even if you want to watch something that isn't the Blackhawks or another Chicago sports team they'll put it on over on the side of the bar. They had the hockey package last year so I was able to watch my Capitals without paying a fortune at home.
The bar itself is alright. They usually have some deal going on for a $4 beer but in general the selection and prices aren't stupendous. There are always a ton of regulars around though so I wouldn't be surprised if the harder drink selection was better.
Anyway, I cannot recommend Delux enough. Just don't everyone go there at once. I still need to be able to get a table.
Delux has been my neighborhood spot for four years now. It's praises are long overdue.
SERVICE: Every single person who works here is great.
FOOD: I'm a pescatarian (I eat seafood + fish but not poultry or red meat) and it's so nice to have a place that will accommodate my requests without hesitation. The black bean burger is outstanding.
AMBIANCE: It' a neighborhood bar -it's not trendy or sceany but it is fun.
LIBATIONS: Spot on. Matt's "crying" cosmopolitan is incredible but we call it the cryin cosmo for a reason.
Delux is about as solid as you can get for a neighborhood bar. The only problem is that my neighborhood is about 5 miles northeast of Delux. I love coming here even know I don't live anywhere close to it.
Their food is outstanding. It rivals a lot of more high end restaurants, but you have the ability to sit at the bar and watch a Bulls or Hawks game. There is always a wide array of people in the place. You will have middle aged businessmen and hipsters in their mid-twenties. This place is a must if you are in the area.
Short and sweet...
This place has solid bar food. Â Never had something I didn't like. Â Get the buffalo chicken wrap, it is the best I've ever had. Â The tots are really good, but those loaded tots are to die for, if of course you don't die from eating them yourself (1lb of tots!). Â They always have good drink deals and the staff is friendly. Â No complaints on this joint.
This place certainly wasn't terrible, but nothing blew me away either. I had a burger, which was fine and dandy. I tried to be a little healthy and go with the sauteed broccoli instead of fries/tots, but that was a mistake. The broccoli was......Bad. It was like eating grass. Gross grass. So go with a different side if you get a burger or sandwich! We also ordered the chips & salsa appetizer, and those were pretty much what we expected.
The main gripe I had was the drink prices, which were basically $5+ for anything not Miller or Bud related. There is one beer "on special" for 3 bucks, so if you don't like that, be prepared to overpay for drinks. I would feel much better off if they knocked a dollar off all their drink prices, but oh well.
I actually enjoyed the atmosphere, although when we went it was pretty empty inside. I feel like this would be cool place to hang out.
All in all, I doubt we'll be back. We had a Groupon this time, so that made it worth it. However, the location wasn't great, and the high drink prices mean we'll probably stick closer to home in the future. But you could do a LOT worse than Delux.
Despite living in River West for two years, I just made it to Delux for the first time a week ago and I found myself pleasantly surprised. Â I was taken right away by the atmosphere. Â Its cool and laid back and the bar is much bigger than it looks from the outside.
The beer selection is decent and the menu pretty much has your standard bar food but there are a few unexpected items. Â Every thing we ordered was very good.
The service may have been the only downfall. Â They seemed to be understaffed. Â We were there during the Blackhawks game and I think the bartender was the only person waiting on a very long bar and all the tables. Â He was friendly but slightly aloof. Â He did well considering he was working alone.
Overall, a good place. Â I'll definitely be back.
I visited Delux for an Action Booth event so I'm sure I didn't have
your typical experience at this place but definitely had a great time.
The bar itself looks like a hole in the wall from the outside but
inside has a lot more space then I imagined. Traditional pub look -
nothing fancy. Nice, attentive staff - awesome.
Location? Bleh. Would never go out of my way to get over there, however, if there were ever another fake reception at which I could get
pictures taken of me jumping in the air, I'd definitely go back.
I say try it out if you happen to be walking by and are feeling thirsty.
I solid azz bar and I'll defo be back.
I went with a friend to private event here that totally rocked our world. From the looks of things, they were plenty accommodating and didn't appear to mind that our "wedding party" had overtaken the entire bar.
The servers were all on top of things and were super hot to boot. I didn't check out their draft menu, or even notice if there was one, but their bottled beer selection is on the better to impressive end of things. I stopped reading once I saw they had both Three Floyds Alpha King and Gumball Head. Done and done.
My favorite part of Delux was when they opened up the tall windows so you could sit at an elevated level and pretend you're dining al fresco. Twas perfect for a warm summer night and with easy to find (once you figure out where permit zone ends) parking, we'll most certainly make this a destination.
Okay, so I think that I was still a tad out of whack yesterday from the overindulgence I participated in at Fantasea. That's right folks - a two day hangover. But I'm a trooper, and since I had plans to meet Stacy Y for the Time Out Chicago Cheap Issue party at the Red Canary, I got my butt off the couch and was off to Milwaukee ave.
The party was a complete bust. The free booze was gone within 15 mins. There were 50 swag bags for a couple hundred guests. Some dude was wearing a head band. It took about 10 minutes to get our first drink. We waited for almost 10 minutes the second time around, before we finally decided to blow that pop stand. Seriously, bad news.
We decided that we needed a beverage to get over that disaster, so we strolled down the street to Delux and bellied up to the bar. Within minutes we each had a nice cold draft and some menus. We decided to split the smothered tots, mini BLTs, and an order of poppers. The tots were quite possibly some of the best I've had. Smothered in a cheese sauce with bacon and scallions. OH MY GOD! And the order was massive! One word of caution though - eat them quickly. Once the sauce cools, it loses some of it's deliciosity. The mini BLTs were jazzed up with a truffle mayo, and really, who doesn't love truffled anything? The poppers were stuffed with bacon and cream cheese, breaded and fried to a golden brown crisp. I'm so happy the portions were ginormous, I've got some leftovers for lunch.
Our bartender was amazing! There when we needed him, gone when we didn't. It's like he had a sixth sense. He was johnny on the spot with condiments, refills, and the like. LOVE HIM!!! The music was awesome. I heard Nirvana, Gwen Stefani, Jay Z, and Sublime. Hell of a mix - I dig it. Loved the laid back atmosphere. I will absolutely be back.
Two words: Tator Tots.
Nuff said.....
OK... not really. I have more to say. But those really stole the show.
My boyfriend and I came by here for lunch today. We just wanted a place with easy street parking and some casual lunch food. Just driving by we stumbled upon this establishment so we walked on in.
It was a seat yourself deal, which I quite like. We sat facing the TVs so we could watch the Bears play pathetically (it almost ruined my meal).
We started off with the loaded tator tots. They came in a HUGE bowl. They are literally smothered with their homemade cheese sauce, scallions, bacon (everything is better with bacon) and a side of ranch dressing. I have never in my life had tator tots as good as these. They were crunchy on the outside (I do not care for mushy tots). They were absolute sinful perfection. It was also a large enough portion for the 2 of us to share them and have ZERO appetite afterwards. The girls at the table behind us had also gotten the bowl of tots, but they did not get the smothered tots- and they were eyeing our tots (or my man, either way, YOU CAN'T HAVE IT!)
He got the biscuits and gravy for his entree and I got the BLT. My ONLY insult of my BLT was that for ME, the bacon was too crispy. Too well done. I like it a bit softer and less crunchy. It's my fault- I should have asked the waitress to make sure it was prepared that way. But it was still delish. Served on toasted (and I believe buttered) Texas Toast with a white truffle mayo... Y.U.M.
OH, and they have a trivia night (but I don't remember the night of the week it's on). Â Either way, I would absolutely return. This is not bikini friendly food so keep that in mind ladies.
The only other negative thing that I can say is the service wasn't good. I think the waitress was pretty much on her own. It seemed like every table was full and she seemed to have them ALL. But still, we were there a good 15 minutes and had each already had our water RE-filled before she came by. Plus I noticed 2 groups that had come in after us got to order before we did. I felt kinda rude when I did call her over to our table to take our order but I felt like we were at a point where it was do or die!
Honestly though, I would return. The bacon issue was all me and the waitress was over booked (I think). The tots more than make up for any wrongdoing.
The cheese stands alone here by not joining a long list of  4 and 5-star reviews.
Then again, you gotta be pretty spectacular to get a 5-star review from me.
Now that I've made that known, I'll share my experience of Delux.
I went with a group to Delux early on a Saturday evening. The location is great, so close to the Kennedy, downtown and the Blue line. Parking is relatively easy as well, since that stretch of Milwaukee is on the sleepy side until later at night.
I'd like to make known that if every restaurants had service like Delux, the world would be a better place. Our waitress was friendly, fast, attentive, and put up with a group of 15 people who were in a rush to make a comedy show. I was possitively impressed.
As for the food...hmm.
My friends ordered the Smothered fries, I got the fries with the the three dipping suaces (truffle mayo, chipotle ketchup, and mesquite bbq).
The Smothered fries were OK, but the cheese sauce brought to mind queso sauce found at Jewel. Maybe the tater tot version of this dish would have been better. Also, the cheese cools and solidifies really fast, so don't talk too much while eating a Smothered dish.
My fries alone were delicious. I enjoyed the mayo sauce, but everyone else at the table tried it and were repulsed upon tasting it. The chipotle ketchup tasted like one of those European brands of imported ketchup you could find at Whole Foods or Tony's. It had a miniscule kick to it and my dining companions also did not like it.
As for me, I'll eat anything, so I finished my fries, sauces, and some Smothered fries entombed in hardened cheese.
I should have gotten a turkey burger.
Now that De Lux is my new corner watering hole, I have to give it some props.
I love the relaxed vibe that I find at here anytime of day or night. Â I can enjoy the breeze from the large open windows while I savor my Blue Moon. Â And I am always that annoying girl here who can't stop mentioning how great the jukebox is, sorry!
If you end up here and are craving a bite, you'll be glad to know that they have great "bar" food. Â The burgers are big, fries are addictive, and tator tots are crispy perfection.
What a great, no make that awesome, neighborhood bar. Totally relaxed, great drinks, good food, wonderful owners (go Gen) and to top it off they have games to play (scrabble, backgammon, chess, etc)....very cool. Â TVs for sports.
We love this place....it was our bar when we lived there, and a must for every return trip to chicago!
This place is what it is. Â A neighborhood bar. Â Been here a few times to get a bite and a drink. Â My friends and I always joke how it sucks.
FOOD: Â Typical bar food. Â Typical price. Tastes just fine. Â They do have a great desert which I cant remember the name. Â It was melted chocolate something or another. Â That was the highlight.
DRINK: Â Normal taps. Â I cant always find a good beer on tap. Â If you have Sam Adams you have reached the "standard" in my opinion. Â That's my fallback beer and they had it.
ATMOSPHERE: Â Dead and boring. Â I would never waste a second of my weekend nights in this place. Â That real estate is too high for this place to get. Â If I'm at my buddy's place down the street it is ok for some food.
I don't want to go back here, but it might happen if I'm hungry and close.
My stomach is in a slanket. Seriously. Encased from duodenum to colon in deliciousness.
I'm smothered in tater tots. Smothered in cheese. And bacon, and scallions? Yes, scallions, white truffle mayonnaise and pretzel buns are just a few of the "upscale" asterisks on the menu. It was perfectly punctuated if I do say so myself.
We almost stopped walking when we hit the Silver Palm, but stuck to our original destination. This place deserves our love as much as any $5 pint/night. We're EOE bar flies.
But this is so much more than a bar. . .
1) The waitress was a little hottie. She was pocket size and her eyes glinted. I swear they did.
2) Biiiig beers. My beer was SO much bigger than my husband's. He is still cowering under its vastness.
3) Smothered tater tots. Again. The word smother makes me curl up like a crescent roll. Pillsbury Crescent Roll. "Hee hee," goes the Dough Girl.
4) Turkey burghs. Um, I don't order turkey burgers. In fact, I hate turkey burgers, but based on a review from like a decade ago, I got one. And I loved it. I dunked it in ranch.
5) Over all the literal juiciness, I had one of those great conversations that make you laugh and cry and relish and bask and ponder and smooch. It was so good.
Go to Delux. Then go see a play at the Chicago Dramatists. Then hit up Juicy Wine for a night cap. Are you picking up what I'm throwing down?
My brother in law was in town and wanted a burger. I was tired with an ensuing increasingly unpleasant hangover bearing down on me... I needed something that would soothe my not so settled stomach and head. We meandered around for a few minutes when we spied this place. Not needing craziness, no loud patrons, no blaring TVs, just some food, we crossed our fingers as we crossed the thresh hold.... and we scored.
The place was fairly empty, a couple playing pool in one corner, some patrons seated at the bar and a few tables taken up. College basketball on the TVs, but thankfully not a loud ruckus that I was hoping to avoid. Looking at the lay of the land this place is fairly spacious and wide open bar with light wood paneling, a sizable lengthy bar, several tables. In fact, perhaps it was because of the emptiness, but it seemed fairly larger than what it looks like from the outside. We grabbed two seats at a table and our waitress stopped by, a diet coke for me, a beer for the brother in law.
We talked about being healthy for lunch, laughed, and started off with the nachos. Light and crispy chips covered in homemade cheese sauce, black beans, jalapenos, sour cream, tomatoes and some additional priced grilled chicken. I don't know how homemade the cheese sauce was, but really in my state of being, the whole thing was pretty tasty, as evident of our fairly cleaned off plate. I got the turkey burger while my brother in law got a regular burger. His with Merkt's cheese spread, (a favorite of my childhood), mine with provolone and cheddar, jalapenos all on a pretzel bun. Yes. A pretzel bun. Jealous? I thought so. We both opted for the fries, (plenty of side options including the very tempting tater tots), we buffaloized them, (side of buffalo sauce, side of blue cheese, pour or dip, enjoy and you're welcome). The burgers were tasty, just what we were looking for.
The place was exactly what we were looking for, chill and relaxed with a neighborhood feel to it. The service was fine, she forget to get a glass at one point but after that she was on top of things. Besides, its a Saturday afternoon after college football... not the most exciting times. Some good food was had here, some bonding time was too... who could ask for anything more?
I moved in across the street about three weeks ago and have been by at least four times. Â This place is consistently good.
Casual neighborhood spot with plenty of options: Â multiple flat-screen TVs showing college and pro sports, darts, pool table, lounge area, Â and late-night food. Â Never too crowded - even on the weekends. Â Fantastic and personable owners and staff. Â
If you're a picky eater and want to modify your order, feel free. Â Drink prices are reasonable with plenty of drink specials. Â if you stop by, try the smothered tator tots. Â They rock. Â So, too, do DeLux's burgers, BLTs, and grilled cheese sandwiches. Â On top of that, DeLux has plenty of vegetarian options. Â More so, I think, than the common bar food menu (hummus, salads, etc.)
The only con: Â The talking ads in the bathrooms. Â Seriously! Â Do we need to be inundated with advertising pitches in the middle of doing our business?
I suppose now that I'm moving out of River West, it's a better time than any to pay homage to our little neighborhood dinner bar.
Delux is like an old friend: a reliable local place to grab a late night bite or pick-up food after work when you're too lazy to cook. Their menu is really diverse and reasonably priced. The Delux salad is my favorite and their reuben and seasoned tots is another big winner. The staff is always friendly, prompt and treat you like family.
There's a great blend of stuff to do here, too. Weeknights are chill and weekends are comfortably social. There's always a game on and the big garage doors roll back in the summertime. Â Or, if you're in the mood, there's a pool table, bar games, a little loungey area and a jukebox.
Plus, for the ladies, I've grabbed a drink here solo a couple times and didn't have to worry about creepos harassing me the whole time.
1 1/2 stars. Â De Lux isn't exactly awful, but it also does nothing special to distinguish itself from the dozens of other far better places with character in the area. Â I find it particularly unwelcoming, and it can take a very long time to get noticed by a server. Â I've even had to walk up to the bar and ask two different people to let me pay my tab. Â This is the kind of place that whose presence in the great city of Chicago I just can't understand--it seems more like a bland sports bar you would find in a suburb like Wheeling. Â The clientele and staff seemed to be an insular group of regulars who didn't really want to deal with any unfamiliar patrons. Â A boring place where NASCAR and Bon Jovi concerts seem to be popular conversation topics.
UPDATE: Someone who's written one review on Yelp, has no photo, and who obviously works here sent me a message insinuating that I am hasty and immature because I dislike the establishment. Â This matches the piss-poor attitudes I encountered while trying to give De Lux my money! Â Wow, just when I thought this place couldn't be less appealing!
I really, really like the River West and West Town neighborhoods of Chicago... Â While riding my bike to the Renegade Craft Fair at Division and Damen I took note of De Lux and was intrigued. Â That night, after the Bears game, the boy and I went for a quick dinner and a couple of beers.
I really like the atmosphere of this place. Â Modern, yet comfortable with a great garage door that opens like a window. Â The shale of the bar is great leaving plenty of bar-stools with great views of the TVs and the rest of the patrons. Â The bartender was nice, and very competent although other staff seemed slightly obnoxious... perhaps drunk from watching the Bears game? Â The people all seemed really cool here, albeit far more drunk then I would have cared for... again, Bears game.
The food was okay, although pretty expensive for what it was. Â The pizzas looked pretty good and are what most of the people were eating... maybe I should have taken that as a clue. Â We had an order of qusadillas, which I really liked... Solid B+. Â I had the Greek Chicken Sandwich with a side of broccoli... which they up-charged $2 for... I missed that on the menu and was really annoyed about it. Â The sandwich was okay, I wouldn't order it again. Â The boy got a standard burger on a pretzel bun. Â The bun was less excited then it sounded, kinda greasy, and by the time he added cheese, bacon, and bbq sauce it was a $10 burger. Â The fries were overcooked and not so good.
The Blue Moon was seriously the best tasting Blue Moon I have ever had. Â Really cold and crisp - they must have just changed the keg. Â It was a treat. Â A $6 treat... The drink specials were pretty weak, $5 Smirnoff mixes drinks? Â I will pass. Â Overall, while the draft beer was tasty, it was overpriced.
I liked this place enough to return for drinks and appetizers... I am not sure I would order a meal again, unless maybe it is to try the little pizza. Â Overall, it was just to expensive despite the great location and atmosphere.
De Lux is on it's way to becoming a modern, Chicago version of Cheers. Â I first came to De Lux the week it opened, and I had literally just moved to Chicago. Â I didn't really know anyone...but heard about the bar from a close friend. Â
They have a great staff, who are more than friendly and always eager to please...over my two year stretch in Chicago, I have never had a poor experience with the restaurant. The servers always have excellent, and honest recommendations and you can tell that they enjoy their jobs!
My personal favorites include the De Lux Salad, it is loaded with corn, dressing and Buffalo chicken strips...Amazing!!! Â The cheeseburger is exceptional, and I highly recommend it on the Pretzel bread bun...unlike any other burger you have ever had. Â The Mediterranean Chicken sandwich comes with seasonings and feta cheese...also a great choice.
The mini corndogs, quesadillas and various other appetizers all make for a great meal too! Â
The ambiance of De Lux is very chill as well, with mellow coppers and dim lighting, it's hard not to feel relaxed while enjoying a frosty beverage with a few friends. Â De Lux is a great place for a low key date, helpful staff, great ambiance, good food and great drinks all help when it comes to laying down a little game with the fairer sex. With generous space and plenty of tables, it's an excellent venue for group outings as well!
Don't forget about the desserts!!! They have an excellent Cookie dessert that comes with ice cream. Â The cookie is soft and melts in your mouth. Â They also serve fried ice cream, you can never go wrong with fried ice cream.
All in all, De Lux is an excellent bar to become a regular at! Â Being a family business, and by family, I mean you will meet their entire family, you will definitely feel welcomed!
Try it out, you have nothing to lose!
Oh...they have an awesome Juke box, especially when you're hammered and looking to rock out! Â Handle it!
I've always been a huge fan of this place, mostly because I live next door and there is not much else within stumbling distance. Â I'll admit to having had dreams about the mysteriously amazing chicken fingers and tater tot hash browns, and the fries have always been fabulous.
Since the onset of warm weather, we've been traveling further and further from home and I hadn't been to De Lux in awhile. Last night, with the Sopranos and all, it seemed like a good night to stick near home, and go with De Lux.
I was sooo disappointed. Â I don't know if they have a new chef, or what, but the chicken fingers were so different and not good at all. Fries lacked all crispness. Â I am sad. Â I'm grieving the old De Lux!
Stumbled by accident on this place the other night, after leaving an event at Avenue M which is just down the block. Â Located at the corner of Milwaukee and Sangamon, this place reminded me of one of the neighborhood bars that I frequented when I used to live in Milwaukee- which for me is a good thing and a good thing for this River West neighborhood!
Unpretentious, friendly with personable wait staff, I immediately felt at home at this place.  I chose to sit at the bar but there are plenty of tables.  Talked to Matt, the bartender, who was an affable guy willing to spend some time with us telling us about the range of beers, menu, and history of the place, etc.  We ordered some snack food-try the chicken quesadilla -it was so good we ordered another and the friends I was with liked the fries with 3 sauces and the mini-burgers.  The menu starts out with a large variety of foods- but as the evening goes on it gets trimmed back  to more of a "munchie menu" so if you want something in particular- you need to get there before 11.
We were there on a Wednesday night so it wasn't excessively crowded or smoky. Â Parking is limited but available on the surrounding streets. Â Overall, I think it goes on my visit list when I am in the neighborhood looking for a bite to eat and some friendly conversation.
